Anjali Sud Named SiriusXM CEO Effective January 2027 as Jennifer Witz Steps Down
What happened
SiriusXM appointed former Tubi and Vimeo executive Anjali Sud as chief executive effective January 1, 2027, succeeding long-time leader Jennifer Witz.
The Context
- The digital imperative: SiriusXM currently maintains 33 million subscribers and 255 million monthly listeners, but flat revenue in its core satellite segment has forced a pivot toward podcasts and ad-supported digital formats.
- The operator pedigree: Sud, who joined SiriusXM's board in March 2025, previously steered Vimeo through a public listing to 300 million users and scaled Tubi's ad-supported audience under Fox Corp.
- The structural catalyst: The leadership transition follows Fox Corp.'s $22 billion acquisition of Roku, which integrated Tubi into a consolidated digital division and freed Sud for the top audio post.
The Number
— Tubi's monthly active user count reached under Sud's tenure, proving her playbook for monetizing free, ad-supported streaming audiences that SiriusXM now needs to tap.
Takeaway
Sud will assume leadership in 2027 to overhaul SiriusXM's subscription-heavy model and drive digital audio expansion.
